[Lyric] Brown (Swati Swaminathan)

Verse 1
I am brown
I am bold
I am burnt
I am earth
I am dirt
I am dull
And my tone is the worst
When I am hurt

I hide
From the sun
But I claim to be light
I find pain in the loveliest of times
And I hate this skin of mine

Chorus
Maybe today I will choose to be gold
I will shine I will glow
All my tears and my woes
I will use to adorn me
Maybe today I will choose to be gold
Maybe one day
Maybe today I will choose to be gold

Verse 2
I am dark
I am filth
I am mulch
I am growth
I am vibrance and I am whole

And I hide
From the sun
‘cause I can’t bear her light
If my shades dissipate will I find
Pеace in white?

Chorus
Maybe today I will choosе to be gold
I will shine I will glow
All my tears and my woes
I will use to adorn me

But maybe one day I won’t need to be gold
Maybe one day
Maybe one day I won't need to be gold
Bridge
Oh I am sorry that I hid from the light
You deserve sunny skies
One of the finer pigments of life
You deserve sunny skies

Outro
I am brown, I am bold, I am burnt, I am earth / Maybe today I will choose to be gold
I am dark, I am filth, I am mulch, I am growth / Maybe today I will choose to be gold
I am brown, I will choose to adore I am brown / Maybe one day I won't need to be gold
Wear the sun like a crown, I am brown
